And it seems our documentation is incorrect on the page you referenced. We’ll get that updated. Thank you for the report!

Hi @ronak-itility, it seems your suggested actions payload isn’t getting constructed correctly. Try this slight variation (based on https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder/tree/master/Node/examples/feature-suggestedActions):

    let msg = new builder.Message(session)
        .text("Thank you. Short message.")
        .suggestedActions(
            builder.SuggestedActions.create(
                    session, [
                        builder.CardAction.imBack(session, "productId=1&color=green", "Green"),
                        builder.CardAction.imBack(session, "productId=1&color=blue", "Blue"),
                        builder.CardAction.imBack(session, "productId=1&color=red", "Red")
                    ]
                ));
    session.send(msg);
